Again it was from a section that had profoundly spoken to me. Adrenalin flooded my body. I was strangely giddy and ashamed at the same time. God was using a former atheist to teach a wayward skeptic things I needed to know. Having been a skeptic, I know they will now bleat “coincidence, nothing but coincidence!” Well those coincidences continued, and nothing will convince me it wasn't God answering my prayer. I devoured Lewis. I was changed. Like Lewis in quote number 15, I came to the realization that “I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.” Thank you God for bringing Lewis home; and thank you for using him to bring me home.

Then a strange thing happened. This book I had never heard of, started popping up. Keeping my promise to God, I went to a Bible study I was invited to, that was held in a guys dorm room. I picked up a comic book and randomly opened it. It turned out to be a Christian comic about the life of Chuck Colson. The page I opened to showed him reading “Mere Christianity” in prison. The section on “pride” changed his life. That section had hit me just about as hard as it hit Colson. Now it was once again in my face. I was stunned. A few days later I attended church. There a guest preacher quoted from “Mere Christianity”.

Many years ago I when I was in college I was floundering for purpose. Being raised a Christian, I realized that if I had been born in another country, chances were I would have been raised something else. I became bitter. Cynical. I studied the religions of the world. I rejected most. I had some affinity for Buddhism, but not enough to convert. In despair I prayed "God I don't even know if you're there. If you are, help me to know you. I will do my best to learn.” A few days later, in a bookstore, I was drawn inexplicably to a book, "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis. Little did I know it was probably the greatest Christian book written in the last hundred years. I read the first half in one setting. It seared my soul. It revived hope.

Pragmaticapitalist I see it differently. Far from "coordinating well thought out plans", the Democrats seem to be flailing about; offering near daily bizarre fodder to the press. Anything to distract the voter from announcing the emperor has no clothes.

Remember when Reagan said "I didn't leave the Democratic party, it left me". And so like all leftists, Obama evolves ever further left. Being grounded in nothing, they are never happy with where they are. If only they travel further left, they think utopia will be at hand. But when they get there, they find the mirage has outpaced them.

Maybe it's just me, but I see high cheekbones on Ann Coulter, Barack Obama, and Mitt Romney. I guess they're all related to Warren.

So Warren had a great aunt that had an odd notion about cheekbones. This quaint elder, believed high cheekbones offered corroboration of an Indian heritage. Of course, as an intelligent highly educated women, Warren would be expected to disregard such non-scientific theories as proving nothing. Warren however, embraced the theory to the point that she formally claimed an Indian linage among her academic peers. Her stated reason for doing so, was because she hoped to be invited to luncheons. Far from being intelligent, she appears to be an egocentric ditz.

Not only do we have to put up with the annoying static about how the President is a nice man; we also get double teamed with the mantra that he is also a smart man. He was president of the Harvard Law Review don't ya know? How could someone that taught Constitutional Law, be so dense as to say that if the Supreme Court overturned Obamacare, it would be an unprecedented act. Then we get treated to a mad scramble by his excuse makers about how the words he spoke didn't actually mean what those words mean. Republicans get mauled by the press for every little gaff; yet they act like paid apologists for Obama, trying to reconcile the growing mountain of contradictions that pour from his mouth.

He was fired from ABC because he said that the 911 terrorists that flew the planes were not cowards. This was in response to Bush saying they were cowards. He also said we were the cowards, lobbing cruise missiles from thousands of miles away. These statements caused outrage among the vast majority of Americans. They got him fired not Bush. Incidently I agreed with him that the terrorists were not cowards. So did his conservative guest on the show that night. I find it funny that of all the loopy incendiary things he ever said, this is what did him in.

Every time you get in a jam you respond with your sophomoric "prove it". When your challenge is met you dodge the main points that you you have no answer for, and then by and by "prove it" returns. You disprove it. I could go on with the "'no you aren't, yes I am" nonsense but it is boring. I have responded to your challenges. I will leave it to the undecided voter to decide who is being more honest.
